Interesting article

Cool. Might just pop on over for afternoon tea! :welcome:

I guess, as the article points out, the probability of this was fair given the number of stars in the Milky Way.

That's cool. Should get SETI to send them a letter asking to set up the interstellar equivalent of Sister City status.
Solar Syster?

Yes, get SETI to send them a message, Then wait Four Hundred Years for a Reply:rolleyes:
Cheers :thumbsup:

The star is in fact HIP 56948, stated clearly in the arXiv paper.
It lies in the constellation of Draco.

In the article, it seems to morph into the number 56548.
Confusing and sloppy.

Otherwise, the research is interesting.

Do you reckon that there are mirror identities of us in some far away planets?
Probably living an exact existence and pondering the universe too.

[astroron]

NO,But why would there be?:shrug:

Other life forms on other planets, Yes
Mirror Identities No.

Cheers :thumbsup:
